Afghanistan, a landlocked nation with a turbulent history of conflict and natural disasters, has experienced the evolution of migration as a strategic response to a range of challenges. Over time, Afghans have developed a resilient transnational network, using mobility as a way to cope and as a proactive strategy. This article explores the dynamics of Afghan migration, examining the intersections of political, historical, cultural, social, and economic factors. Four main themes emerge: the resilience of transnational networks, migration as a coping mechanism, prolonged displacement, and the inconsistency of return and reintegration. The paper also discusses the challenges of conceptualizing migration and return in the Afghan context and reflects on relevant theoretical models for studying migration in Afghanistan. Additionally, it explores emerging research themes, including gender perspectives and political uncertainty. As Afghanistan grapples with a dynamic migration landscape, the insights gained from this study have broader implications for international migration studies.

超越国界：了解阿富汗的国际移民动态和全球影响

阿富汗是一个内陆国家，历史上曾经历过冲突和自然灾害的动荡，它经历了移民作为应对一系列挑战的战略反应的演变。随着时间的推移，阿富汗人已经建立了一个有弹性的跨国网络，利用流动性作为应对方式和主动战略。本文探讨了阿富汗移民的动态，考察了政治、历史、文化、社会和经济因素的交叉点。出现了四个主题：跨国网络的复原力、作为应对机制的移民、长期流离失所以及返回和重返社会的不一致。本文还讨论了在阿富汗背景下概念化移民和返回的挑战，并反思了研究阿富汗移民的相关理论模型。此外，它还探讨了新兴的研究主题，包括性别观点和政治不确定性。随着阿富汗努力应对动态的移民格局，这项研究获得的见解对国际移民研究具有更广泛的影响。
